Also supportive of Purdey's notions are the following recent findings:
QUOTE: Over the past decade, Salomon's research has expanded to other diseases such as macular degenerative diseases that result in blindness and involve "brain lipids" that contain an omega-3 fatty acid that is abundant in fish oil. Brain lipids are very rare in the body, but are found in nerve cells and in the photoreceptor rod cells of the eye. Salomon and Clinic researchers suspected that the energy from light on the receptors might promote oxidation and damage. UNQUOTE.
Purdey argued that this is how the oxidative stress occurred that led to Mad Cow disease, if the animals ate a manganese-rich, copper-poor diet.

Note that when I copy and paste that web site I cited, it comes up as page not found. It added a "p" at the end, but when I deleted the p and hit enter, the page appeared. Anyone know what might cause this? |
